Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
Colombia's Yurberjen Martinez on Friday became the first boxer into a final at the Rio Olympics as he shocked Cuban hot prospect Joahnys Argilagos.
Martinez, 24, is guaranteed at least a silver after he outwitted the gifted 19-year-old in their light flyweight semi-final for a split-decision victory.
In Sunday's final he will face either Hasanboy Dusmatov of Uzbekistan or the American Nico Hernandez.
Cuba's boxers have sparkled so far in Rio, but this was a surprise, first defeat for the country.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
